Western Shipping was set up in Singapore in 1987 with the primary focus to conduct agency business and crew management. In 1992 after a change of ownership the business became a technical management company.

In 2000 Western Shipping was offered a MR size tanker for technical management and by 2006 it was managing ten ships and it was considered that a change of name to Western Shipping Pte Ltd, would portray a better profile for the company.

The company today manages a modern fleet of tankers consisting of MR (oil/chemical), Panamax (LR 1), Aframax (LR 2). The vessels are offered and engaged in worldwide trade.

My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
